When asked by TMZ if he'd ever seen ghosts, actor Gary Busey replied, "I've seen ghosts. I've seen them. There are mischievous ghosts, there are good ghosts and there are ghosts who play tricks on you — those are the mischievous ones. But there's some that scare you. I had a ghost, one time, come out of a big plate of soup I had. A big bowl of soup. It was called a 'soup ghost.' And it was a good-looking ghost because it was covered in vegetables. That's my kind of ghost, one that looks like one you could eat. If you can eat a ghost, you're doing good. You'd be able to fly and, sometimes, you go invisible when you don't even know it's coming. That's a true story on my ghost." —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Jason Kempin/Getty Images)

"One night my little sister, it sounds crazy to tell you, but, she was standing in the shower and all of a sudden I hear her scream.
